Hi, folks,
Some time ago I posted a message about an un-named australian plant I had
bought. Well, now I managed to identify it, it is Eremophila maculata, the
yellow flowered form (or cultivar?)It is developing into a very nice bush,
in full bloom now and quite pleasing, if not showy. I like the color of the
foliage, and I find it matches very well with the other plants of my garden,
but how big can it become? The Society for growing australian plants page
says about 1 m (3 ft), but a friend who used to grow it, said his reached
almost 3 mt (9 ft)in height and width. The SGAP page also suggests to keep
it far from other plants, for good air circulation, but I planted mine quite
close a to Rosa Banksiae lutea, hoping the latter would send some shoots on
the Eremophila. Do you think I should move it (at the end of the blooming
season) to avoid eventual risks?
Thanks,
Alessandra
